CHECK THE PACKAGES AT THE COURIER
We, on our side, during packing, do everything in our power to ensure that the goods are properly secured for shipment. But things are different on the road, so it may happen that parcels are damaged in transit . It is worth mentioning here that we do not deliver parcels ourselves, but use the services of a well-known international courier company.
Read what steps to take to solve this problem efficiently and quickly.
CONSEQUENCES OF NOT CHECKING THE RIMS AT THE COURIER
Why is it worth checking the condition of the goods at the courier? First of all, so that there is no situation that the product was not checked on delivery for possible damage in transport, and only before mounting it on the car. When checking the rims on the machine, it turns out that the deviations are significantly different from the norm, so a complaint is submitted to us. Rim and tire optimization is worth mentioning here - check out our article on the topic on our blog.
Reported settlements could be avoided by checking the goods with the courier . Because in the vast majority of cases it is the result of damage in transport, not errors at the production stage .
